THE wEEK,s wEArHER.
What the Signal Service Says Of
Temperature and Rainfall.

WASHINGTON, May 22.-The signal
officials issued the following weather
report for the week ending May 81:
emperature-During the week end
ing May. 81, the weather has been
warmer than usual in all agricultural
districts east of the Rocky Mountains,
except in Florida and Texas, where the
deficiency i'm temperature averages
about 25 >, a daily average of about SO
below the normal. From the Mississippi
valley eastward to the Atlantic coast
the excess of temperature for the week
was from 25o to SOC, a daily average of
about 50 warmer than usual. The ex-
cess of temperature for the season pre-
ylOusly reported in the East Gulf states {:
Tennessee, the central Mississippi and
lower Missouri valleys has been in
creased by the warm weather of the
past week, while the deficiency of teia-
! perature previously reported for the
season IN the wheat and corn regions
north OF the Ohio river and In the upper
lake regions, Iowa and Minnesota. has
been reduced, thus leaving the thermal
condition in these sections at the close
of the week normal.
Ralnfull-During the week there has
been deficiency of rainfall in all sec
tons east of the Missouri and lower
Mississippi valleys, while slight excuses
are reported in Texas, Northern Arkan-
Sas and Central Dakota. The deficiency
in rainfall for the season is general, the
only sections reporting an excess being
Northern New England, Ohio, Western
pennsylvania, Northwestern Dakota,
Oregon and Washington territory. The
large deficiency in rainfall previously
reported in the Southern states east of
the Mississippi continues.
General Remarks-In the cotton re-
gion east of the Mississippi more rain is
needed, but the recent showers and
warm weather leaves the crop in ia
yorable condition. In the West Gulf
states the excellent weather of the past
week has improved the crop conditions,
except in Northern Arkansas, where
too much rain is reported. In the grain
regions of the Ohio valley and in Miss
Ouri, Kansas and Nebraska the weather
during the week has been generally ia
Yorable for corn and wheat. In Michi-
gan, Wisconsin and Minnesota the
weather has been reported as favorable,
but crops are likely to be injured, owing
to the absence of rain.

Mr.. Grady's Characteristics.

Henry w. Grady is becoming very
popular in the South, says an Augusta,
Ca, letter, and it seems to be pretty
we'll hoped that he will be the first post
bellum SOutherner who will grace a
presidential ticket. Grady's reputation
as Journalist is universal. Your cor
respondent saw him at Atlanta
writing a leader for the Constitu-
ton the other day-dictating it
rather. He was Oh Broad street,
just around the corner from
the Constitution building. He affects
tOothpicks and had one between his
t1eth. His hat was thrust back over his
Pct bangs. Leaning at an angle of
f)rty-five degrees against convenient
tree, he poured forth sentence after
$ 'ntence, which were faithfully handled
By the young stenographer who fol-
lows him about the streets to enable
him to put into print brilliant thoughts
which may be inspired during the pos
Sible vice presidents StrOllS about the
thoroughfares. Mr. Grady is peculiar:
and has faculty of f-abStraction.
Your correspondent has seen him talk
ing to Senator Brown, and when the
latter was making reply to common
place interrOgatOry the editor walked
away when the senator was half
way through his sentence. He often
does this: But its Grady, you know,
al d nobody is offended by Grady or
by what he does. In the middle of a
most important conversation he will
walk abruptly away, to the consterna-
ton of stranger, but to the amuSe-
ment of one who knows him and his
ways. Governors, senators, congress
men, office boys, partners and sub-edi-
Mr.. Grady likes social gatherings, but
generally remains at The parl0r en-
trance, toOthpick between his teeth, hat
thrown back on his head, lolling against
the facing of the door. He rarely gets
inside. But from his position he talks
to ten at once and is lionized wherever
he wanderS. !.

UNDER THE APPLE TREES.

TWO PICTURES.
They sat beneath perfumed shade
While fragrant blossoms drifting down,
Fell lightly on fair-haired maid,
And Wreathed her lovers locks of brown
The drowsy bees hummed in the boughs,
Extracting honey cool and sweet: -
And breezes soft, that famed their brows,
Shook snow-white petals at their feet. II
Il
The sky burned crimson in the west. n
And tinged the maiden's cheek rose blush
While i'll her lovers throbbing breast
There glowed a deeper, warmer flush,
As on her rose-red lips he pressed 70
A thrilling and enhancing kiss, 10
And drew her head upon his breast, II
He fondly told a tale like this: y
Tomorrow eve we will be wed;
And as you stand in white array
These blossoms sweet shall crown your head
A cOronet from smiling May!"
But she made answer: "Queenly June il
VIII come with roses in her arms,
TO sing more enchanting tune
And WOO us with thousand charms. "
"These apple blooms are passing sweet,
AS on us they are drifting down,
Cool soft and fragrant at our feet
But give to me June's roSe-leaf crown"
thus while they sit-these lovers fond
we ii turn another scene to sight;
An apple orchard, just beyond,
Where falls the sunsets crimson light.
An old man sits beneath the tree,
And soft, sweet blossoms drifting down,
On whitened locks are falling free
Those locks in bygone days so brownI
He sits alone tonight and signs.
While tears his faded ewes bedim.
Yon sunset, with its thousand dyes'
Holds in its glow faint light for him!
With trembling voice he calls name
That now, as always, he holds dear;
Although unknown to earthly fame
1t gave to him life's sweetest cheeri
| From out u volume worn with age,
He lifts a lock of golden hair;
And falling blossoms kiss the page
That years had held the treasure fair.

A LOT FOR EVERY BABY.
A Novel Plan Suggested.

| IA 4eOtCA itiu 0uSfScStcGs
To the Editor of the Globe.
MINNEAPoLIs, Mimi, May 2O.-Hav-
ing noted with some interest the discus
sion in regard TO the prize lot to be given
to some fortunate st. Paul baby, and
your evident desire to cooperate with
Henry George to secure a lot for every
baby If any practical way could be
pointed out that such result could be
accomplished, and, as an exponent of
Georgeism, desire to submit the Lfols
lowing plan: =
In the first place 1t will be necessary.
to examine and see if there will be lots
enough to supply the demand. SUPPOSE
we take map OF st. Paul and draw a.
circle on a two mile radius from the
center. This circle would contain twelve
ana one-haif square miles. Then, If we
ieft this iS to be built up with bust
ness blocks, and for residence
portion we extend the circle
two miles further out, you would
have thirty-seven and one-half square,
miles IN the residence portion, all within
-FOUR miles OF the center of the city and
none nearer than two miles. Now, then,
TINS thlrty-Seven and One-half square
miles, If plated to average eight lots to
the acre, would make $4,000 lots. or
about $4,000 more lots within four miles
or the center of the city than there are
men, women and children. Again, if
In that section of the circle reserved for
residences were all built up with sepa-
rate houses, and an average family of
five, five and One-half or six in each
house there would be in st. Paul over
100000 inhabitants. Now, Mr.. George
does not propose any such parceling out
OF lots, as the above might lead some
people to suppose, but these figures
prove conclusiyely that there are plenty
OF lots and always will be. Now, then;
the reason that every baby or every
head OF family can't have a lot, is be-
cause some people own scores and almost
whole additions for speculation, and
lotS are such favOrite investment for
capital that it creates specu-
iatiye demand and vacant property
Is doomed to ten times its present value,
till laborer can't pay the interest on
them, let alone buying; and then rent
is doomed to pay the interest on this
speculative value, not only eating UP
the profits of merchants, but DESTROY
Ing their business by absorbing the
purchasing power of their customers.
Now, of course, you cannot take them
away from the present owners and give
them to the baby benefit, or anybody's
benefit, but you can advocate system
OF taxation on land value, regardless of
improvements, that it will not be profit
able to monopliZe vacant lots, and
every baby could easily get lot when
1t becomes of age, and landlOrdiSm
would be thing of the past and the
benefit universal one.

SOUTHERN FAIRNESS.

A contract was recently let in At
lanta which deserves publicity. Two
companies, an Atlanta organization
and Northern firm, were bidding for
the contract to furnish the gas light for
the city's suburbs. Though the bid of
the Northern company was only trifie
less than that of the home company it
got the contract, the city council de-
elaring its intention to live up to the
provisions of the advertisement, which
declared that the contract would be let
to the lowest bidder and announcing its
determination to encourage the impor-
tation OF Northern capital.
The incident is suggestive as indicat-
ing that the old feeling against Northern
enterpriSe,to which our friends, MeSsrs.
BLAINE and SHERMAN, have frequently
alluded, has completely died out i'll the
South Northern capital is now cordially
welcomed, and has already done Won
ders in the development Of the great
natural resources of the ssSouth. The
people themselves appreciate this fact,
and, so far from placing obstacles in the
way of the investment of Northern
money, they are giving every induce
ment to Northern capitalists to come
down and reap the reward which surely
awaits their enterprise.
The Southern people forcibly realize
that in keeping up with the procession
they have no time to cherish old ami
mOSitieS.

Archdeacon Kirby, in arecent account
| of his lifelong experiences as a
mission airy among the Indians
in British Columbia. remarked
upon the extreme difficulty of
making them comprehend the simplest
Scriptural teachings, and illustrated it
by saying that he gave series of lessons
on each of the commandments sepa-
rately to a class of young AIoskan
braves. He dwelt especially upon the
commandment, explaining to them
clearly what murder meant, and what
a dreadful crime 1t was in the eyes of
God and man. To test their comprehen-
sion of what he had said, he then asked
all those in the class who had committed
murder to stand up. Only three arose.
He was very much surprised, as he
knew that they had all been on the war
path repeatedly, and boosted of their
scalps. He went carefully over the eX-
animation once more, and again asked
| them to rise. The same three came to
their feet. ''Why, surely" he said, in
despair, ''this can't be all who have com
mitted murder" After moments re-
fiection: ''Will all those who have TOM
ahawked their mother-in-law please
| stand up?" Nineteen arose.
Hattie was not at all familiar with
''darkieS;" indeed, her whole acuuain-
lance with the race was limited to one
stalwart ebony friend, whose face

could understand about it. Her loyal
| friendliness and deep pity were at vari-
ance, and her small soul was often
stirred within her.

her mother answered surprised.
There was long silence, which the
little lady devoted to much deep
